Chandigarh, August 11: Punjab Cabinet Minister Dr Baljit Kaur strongly condemned BJP MP Harbhajan Singh for circulating misleading visual media that wrongfully targeted the administration. The controversy began when the former athlete shared footage showing two struggling individuals alongside commentary warning about dangerous narcotics trends. A sharp counter-offensive followed from the ruling administration, with Dr Baljit Kaur asserting that the parliamentarian was intentionally attempting to damage Punjab’s global reputation to gain political favors. She maintained that spreaders of deceptive content must be held accountable for the false narratives they push onto the public.
State law enforcement authorities issued an official clarification confirming that the viral video was filmed in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan. Punjab Police affirmed that the recorded events had zero connection to local territory or state personnel. Authorities declared that adding regional audio to outside videos does not make them genuine local incidents, calling on social media users and prominent public figures to verify locations before tagging law enforcement handles. State representatives maintained that while addressing drug issues remains an ongoing priority, public discussion must rely on verified facts rather than sensationalized online posts.
